Post Your Breath Hold (Week 4: Jan 19th - Jan 25th)

27d (edited) • ⏱️ Post Time

Can you name the most important aspect of breath holding?

Give yourself a second.

Is it controlling the mind?

Being in great shape?

A strong, flexible diaphragm?

The biggest breath hold wins start with relaxation,

and the key to relaxation is in the exhalation.

Follow along,

and experience how you regain calm & focus in a single session:

Step-by-step:

Sit or lie down in a comfortable position (preferably lying down)
Do 10 prep breaths - Inhale through your nose, exhale slowly through your mouth with slight resistance (like a hissing sound), focusing on letting go of tension in your mind and muscles
The breathing relaxes you - The controlled exhale increases oxygen in your blood and triggers the vagus nerve, lowering your metabolism
Then hold - After the 10th exhale, take a final breath in and begin your breath hold

How did you do? Post your time & get feedback & points.

Then head on over to the Classroom & follow the instructions for the next day
